Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been initialized.
This begins when the ignition is
turned on. Initialization may take a
few moments.
1. Press
g
on the steering wheel
controls to activate voice
recognition.
2. The audio system mutes and the
system plays a prompt.
3. Clearly speak one of the commands
described in this section.
A voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted while it is
playing by pressing
g
again.
Once voice recognition is started, both
the infotainment display and
instrument cluster show the selections
and visual dialog content. These
displays can be turned on or off in the
Tutorial Mode under
.
There are three voice prompt modes
supported:
.
Informative verbal prompts: This
type of prompt will provide more
information regarding the supported
actions.
.
Short prompts: This type of prompt
will provide simple instructions
about what can be stated.
.
Auto informative prompts: This type
of prompt plays during the first few
speech sessions, then automatically
switches to the short prompt after
some experience has been gained
through using the system.
If a command is not spoken, the voice
recognition system says a help
prompt.
Prompts and Infotainment Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there may be corresponding
options showing on the displays.
A selection can be made by manually
touching the option, or by speaking
the number for the option to select.
Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session may
be completed entirely using voice
commands while some manual
commands may expedite a task. If a
selection is made using a manual
control, the voice recognition dialog
will progress in the same way as if the
selection were made using a voice
command. Once the system completes
the task, or the session is terminated,
the voice recognition dialog stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is touching an entry of a
displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated with
the entry desired.
